Oakhurst Cottage is a Grade II listed stone cottage dating to c.1854, set on the edge of Oswestry with wide rural views and attractive, mature gardens. The house combines many original period features — high ceilings, circular windows, exposed floorboards and slate hearths — with practical updates including a modern bathroom, fitted kitchen and secondary glazing.
The cottage offers deceptively spacious living across an average-sized 817 sq ft footprint: an open-plan lounge/dining room with solid oak flooring, two double bedrooms and useful storage including earmarked space for laundry. Outside, a long driveway provides off-street parking for multiple vehicles and the grounds include a large, well-maintained pond, specimen trees and colourful borders — a strong draw for buyers seeking established outdoor space.
Important practical points: the building’s listed status will constrain alterations and could complicate improvements; the walls are solid brick with no built-in insulation (typical of the age) and the property uses oil-fired central heating with an external oil tank. There is an estate service charge (circa £83/month at time of listing) for access, verge upkeep and the sewage treatment plant, and some estate invoicing applies for water. Council Tax banding is low (Band A). Prospective buyers should allow for ongoing conservation obligations and the running costs associated with oil heating and older construction types.
This cottage will suit buyers wanting character and a mature garden in a quiet, semi-rural location — particularly downsizers or those seeking a period home with scope for sensitive improvement rather than a turnkey modern property. Viewings are recommended to appreciate scale, light and the picturesque setting in person.
